I never told you this
because you didn't
give me the chance to.
Your name was the only
word I could say during
the day without tasting
bitterness.
I really did love you,
but the hole I dug myself
in was too deep to show
you properly.
I had the word "fragile"
written across my forehead
but falling in love with you
was like falling down a flight
of stairs.
When the pieces were
shattered across the
basement floor, you walked out..
taking the broom with you.

Time is a continuous loop, the snakeskin with scales endlessly overlapping without beginning or end, or time is an ascending spiral if you will, like a child's toy Slinky. Of course we have no idea which arc in the loop is our time, let alone where the loop itself is, so to speak, or down whose lofty flight of stairs the Slinky so uncannily walks. #anniedillard
